Cherry jam using Thermomix: how much does it cost?
Good jam made from cherries or strawberries is also available in the supermarket, so why should you make your own? The answer to this question is clear, because cherry jam from the Thermomix is not only an alternative to the ready-made product, but also a way to precisely control the ingredients and their quality. Gelling sugar, lemon juice and, of course, the cherries - that's all you need for the cherry jam recipe from the Thermomix not. Of course, the preparation is particularly inexpensive if you can use your own cherries from the garden. If you don't have this option, make sure you wait until the fruit is in season. Then you pay around four to five euros per kilo and the taste is at its most intense.
Our recipe for cherry jam with the Thermomix goes as follows:
In addition to the ingredients listed below, the jar you use also plays an important role. Although the preserving sugar ensures that the jam keeps for a particularly long time, it is still highly recommended that you fill the jars in which you make your cherry jam from the Thermomix boil or sterilize in the Varoma beforehand. Do the same with the lids of the jars.
You need these ingredients for the cherry jam from the Thermomix:
- 1000 g pitted cherries
- 500 g gelling sugar 2:1
- juice of half a medium-sized lemon
This is how it works: Thermomix & Cherry jam
- Puree the cherries in the blender jug for 5 seconds at speed 5
- Now add the remaining ingredients and mix everything on speed 4 for 10 seconds
- Now cook for 20 minutes on speed 3 at 100 °C and then carry out a jam test
- Pour the hot jam into the jars that are still warm from boiling, screw them tightly closed and turn them upside down for about 10 minutes
In winter, you can add a little cinnamon and a pinch of star anise to the jam.
